Pepper Spray Bandits
This from Brian Day on the night shift:
PASADENA - Two men robbed a business of about $1,500 worth of sunglasses Tuesday after spraying the employee with pepper spray, officials said.
The incident occurred about 11:30 a.m. at the Sunglass Hut, 89 W. Colorado Blvd., said Pasadena police Lt. Jari Faulkner.
Two robbers described as black men in their 20s entered the store and picked up about three "very expensive" pairs of sunglasses, Faulkner said.
They then sprayed the store employee in the face with pepper spray and ran away, she said.
The robbers last were seen running east toward North de Lacey Avenue, Faulkner added.
She said the employee was not hospitalized.

What sadistic scumbags. They didn't have to spray the clerk who wasn't going to chase them only threaten to spray him/her.
